I left an engineering job at a finance startup in the mid 90's to take a "dream job" at a video game startup. It was.. awful: all the fun and creativity was being done by on the production/game design part, and the engineering was... both demanding and boring at the same time. It was weird realizing I was happier and feeling more creatively engaged when I was figuring out how to price derivatives.
